Scientists Discover a Simple Way To Improve Medication Efficacy: Listen to Your Favorite Song
Researchers at Michigan State University found that music-listening interventions can enhance the effectiveness of medicines, particularly in reducing chemotherapy-induced nausea. Future studies may investigate the neurochemical basis for this effect by measuring serotonin levels, potentially leading to nonpharmacological interventions complementing traditional medicine.Researchers at Michigan State University have discovered that not only is listening to a
Scientists Discover That Ketamine Increases Brain Noise
Ketamine is a powerful anesthetic drug that is used in medicine for surgical procedures and pain management. It is also used as a recreational drug for its mind-altering and hallucinogenic effects. In recent years, ketamine has gained attention for its potential as a rapid-acting treatment for depression, anxiety, and other mental health disorders. However, its
Astronomers Discover Ring around Trans-Neptunian Object Quaoar
The newly-detected ring orbits at 7.4 radii from Quaoar — much further away from the object than the rings around Saturn. An artist’s impression of the dwarf planet Quaoar and its ring.

Scientists Discover Why Late-Night Eating Leads to Diabetes and Weight Gain
Health benefits come from eating during the daytime, demonstrating a potential link to energy release.Scientists at Northwestern Medicine have uncovered the mechanism behind why eating late at night is linked to diabetes and weight gain. According to the CDC, 37.3 million Americans have diabetes, which is 11.3% of the US population. An additional 96 million
Researchers discover connection between stress-activated signaling and immune cell evasion in melanoma
Graphical abstract. Credit: Cancer Cell (2022). DOI: 10.1016/j.ccell.2022.08.016 Anti-cancer immune cells are critical to inhibiting the development and progression of tumors, and deregulation of the immune system can limit the ability of immune cells to identify and target cancer cells for destruction. Cancer cells are also subjected to various environmental stresses that impact their survival

Scientists Discover Surprising Remedy to Plastic Pollution: Caterpillar Spit
The saliva of wax worms contains enzymes that can break down plastic in a matter of hours, new research shows. Published October 7, 2022 04:28PM EDT Because they eventually become moths or butterflies, all caterpillars are destined for greatness. The larvae of at least one species, however, are equipped to do great things even before
Cyanoraptor lies in wait, then ambushes its cyanobacterial prey—attaching to the cell walls and effectively eating it from the inside out. Cyanoraptor was first identified in biocrusts from the Sonoran Desert.

Researchers Discover Chinese Harvesting of Organs Before Brain Death
April 8, 2022 -- Researchers from Australia and Israel have found evidence of forced organ harvesting in China on people who were not first declared brain dead.Searching for documentation that organs people need to live are being harvested from executed prisoners who did not give their permission -- a practice that the China Tribunal confirmed “beyond…
Astronomers discover a new type of star covered in helium burning ashes
A team of German astronomers, led by Professor Klaus Werner of the University of Tübingen, have discovered a strange new type of star covered in the by-product of helium burning. It is possible that the stars might have been formed by a rare stellar merger event.The fascinating results are published in Monthly Notices of the…
Astronomers Discover New Type of Subdwarf Star
Astronomers using the Large Binocular Telescope have discovered two unusual hot subdwarf stars: PG 1654+322 and PG 1528+025. While normal stars have surfaces composed of hydrogen and helium, these two subdwarfs are covered with helium-burning ash and can be identified as the remnants of a helium-core white dwarf that accreted matter of a low-mass carbon-oxygen…
